Handball: last match of the season at home for the HBGR which has not yet ensured its maintenance

Le HBGR reste sur trois victoires consécutives à domicile. Midi Libre – C.L.

Le HBGR accueille Saint-Raphaël samedi 4 mai à 20 h 30 au gymnase des Eyrieux. Une victoire permettrait aux Bagnolais de valider leur maintien sans regarder les autres résultats.

It’s the last of the home season! Bagnols Gard Rhone Handball hosts Saint-Raphaël this Saturday, May 4 at 8:30 p.m. at the Eyrieux gymnasium. After dominating Istres (36-25), 4th, last week, the HBGR wants to do it again against the Varois, third in the standings and undefeated for four games. The Bagnolais also hope to definitively validate their continuation in front of their public. A victory against Saint-Raphaël would allow them to secure their place in Nationale 2 next season without having to worry about other results. In the event of defeat, the HBGR will be maintained during this penultimate day of the championship if Avignon (10th with 34 points) wins against Villeneuve-Loubet (11th with 33 pts).

"We want to finish well"

"We are going to rely only on ourselves and go for victory, says coach Raphaël Geslan. Last week at home did us a lot of good. We want to finish well for the last match in front of our home crowd.& quot; In the first leg, the Bagnolais achieved a feat by winning 32-31. Like the Istres team, the Saint-Raphaël team is also a training center. There is therefore some uncertainty about the players who will be lined up. "We will adapt as best as possible", promises the Bagnolais coach who will have to get news from captain Dorian Tourraton, of winger Tom Brisco and center half Nathan Poizot.
